With the upcoming release of the film “Mortdecai,” the book series by Kyril Bonfiglioli is heading to the cinema.

Bonfiglioli’s “Mortdecai” books were first published in the 1970s. They follow Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp in the film), an art dealer who is married to Johanna (actress Gwyneth Paltrow) and often accompanied by his manservant Jock (Paul Bettany). The books detailing his adventures include “Don’t Point That Thing At Me,” “After You With the Pistol,” and “Something Nasty in the Woodshed.”
